Armed robbery reported at off-campus house

Two individuals not affiliated with Syracuse University reported an armed robbery that took place at an off-campus house on Friday night, police said.

The armed robbery occurred while the individuals were at a home located several blocks off campus in the 700 block of Lancaster Avenue, according to a Department of Public Safety email sent to the SU community.

The two individuals reported three unknown males who walked into the house through an open front door, according to the email.

After the suspects ordered the individuals to the floor and brandished handguns, they took cash and a backpack and fled the scene on foot heading south on Lancaster Avenue, away from campus, according to the email.

No injuries were presented, DPS said in the email.
